I love these things, reminds me that this is real
On the other hand those months talking online before we met in person were very special, we connected and really got to know each other. Am I silly for being stubborn and not counting that time? maybe.

It's probably because I dated online before and in my experience is not real until you meet, and even if you do meet you can't take things for granted. When we were engaged and planning the wedding I was tempted to count the time of when we started emailing each other, hell, I was tempted to count the time from when I read that first post on the forums I met him even if we didn't really speak directly that much.

Now, a little over a year since first time we met in person, I feel comfortable thinking of our first kiss as our anniversary. If someone asks how long we have been married, I reply with the courthouse date since that is when we got legally married... while before I would answer with the religious wedding date (a month after) in an attempt to make it sound less rushed. So while my head is still spinning, I guess I am finally feeling comfortable with how fast things happened.
